The M3/4 CS has the wrong transmission and much higher production numbers.
Very happy to see BMW build an exclusive enthusiast machine again, even if it is not long for this world. It is a nice break from crossovers and EV’s that have great 1/4 mile times but make me sleepy. As much as I’ve enjoyed reading the dismissive posts on here for the past few days, I think I’ll have to be very discreet when I take delivery of my CS. Hopefully find some positivity at car shows, etc.

Yes, those mentioned numbers of 300-450 units to the US would be crazy. The bmw honcho interviewed in the bmwblog podcast mentioned it will be available in all markets. That doesn't leave a lot of cars to go around. The fewer the better to help mitigate previous pricing issues. If they sell out and everyone "overpays", then who cares.
